}}The '''Dynamite Pack''' is a throwable secondary weapon that consists of a team-colored bundle of five dynamite sticks, held together with a thick strap. It has an electronic keypad with nine buttons on it, attached to the pack with a thick yellow wire. The wire appears yellow regardless of which team the user is on. When thrown, the Dynamite Pack will beep three times and light up with three team-colored lights, indicating its impending detonation.

The '''Dynamite Pack''' is a throwable secondary weapon that explodes ~~into~~ four smaller bomblets ~~on detonation~~. ~~Successfully hitting a target~~ with the ~~initial throw briefly slows~~ the enemy as ~~well as damages them~~. A thrown Dynamite Pack can be defused by ~~the~~ [[Engineer]] by hitting it with the [[Wrench]], ~~while~~ the ~~smaller~~ bomblets can be defused by [[Pyro]]'s airblast. It ~~has~~ a ~~10 seconds cooldown before it can~~ be ~~used again~~.

The Dynamite pack is a thrown projectile that explodes on a timer, creating an initial high-damage explosion which spreads four smaller sticks of dynamite (known as "bomblets"), which then finally explode themselves. It can be charged up to two seconds, increasing the speed of the thrown pack. Hitting an enemy with the pack will deal 30 damage regardless of range, and slow the enemy's movement for 0.5 seconds. If the main pack hits a surface after it is thrown, it will bounce in a random direction before coming to rest. Once it is thrown, the main pack will detonate after 2.5 seconds, dealing massive splash damage. During the main explosion, it randomly spreads out its four remaining dynamite sticks, which then randomly detonate between 1 and 2 seconds after.

The Demoman carries one Dynamite Pack at a time. After it is thrown, it recharges after 10 seconds, after visiting a resupply locker, or after respawning. If thrown [[water|underwater]], it will have significantly reduced velocity, but will still explode as normal. As a hidden attribute, the Dynamite Pack allows switching to it in 0.3 seconds instead of the default of 0.5 seconds.

A thrown Dynamite Pack can be defused by an enemy [[Engineer]] hitting it with the [[Wrench]], but the bomblets are immune to this. The bomblets can be defused by [[Pyro]]'s [[airblast]], but not the main dynamite pack, which can only be moved away. Although the pack can be airblasted out of the air, it will pass through players on the Demoman's team (including the thrower), dealing no impact damage. It will still deal impact damage to players on the Pyro's team.

Taunting with the Dynamite Pack will cause the Demoman to blow himself up after 3.8 seconds, dealing between 900 and 450 damage to any enemy in the explosion radius, and 750 damage to himself. This will also damage enemy buildings, dealing up to 1000 damage, and deal a huge amount of knockback to invulnerable enemies. The Gunboats do not reduce self-damage from this taunt. If the user somehow survives the explosion, such as through an [[ÜberCharge]], the Dynamite Pack will be consumed, and the user will be launched upwards a significant amount.

== Trivia ==

*The [[tf:Dynamite Pack|Dynamite Pack]] was originally planned for Team Fortress 2 during ~~it's~~ pre-release stages, as a re-imaging of Team Fortress Classic's [[tf:MIRV Grenade (Classic)|MIRV Grenade]]. It is unknown if it was ever intended to act as it's ~~own weapon~~.

* The [[tf:Dynamite Pack|Dynamite Pack]] was originally planned for ''Team Fortress 2'' during its pre-release stages, as a re-imaging of ''Team Fortress Classic''s [[tf:MIRV Grenade (Classic)|MIRV Grenade]]. It is unknown if it was ever intended to act as its own weapon.

* The achievement for taunt killing an enemy with the Dynamite Pack is named "1, 1, 1, Uhh...", which is a reference to a joke from the Meet The Spy video. Despite this, the Demoman only presses the button three times on the Dynamite Pack, instead of four times.

* The Dynamite Pack taunt explosion slightly shifts the Demoman's position downwards, assuming he is not instantly exploded. This allows an invulnerable Demoman to get stuck in certain slopes, unable to escape until death.
